This organic piece emerges roughly from the ground and flows from sculpture into a refined furniture piece, exemplifying the seasons of birth and decay, through the magic of wood rendered in its many styles: sculpture, joinery, cabinetry and marquetry.  Surprises await the curious observer.

There are two transitions expressed in this piece: From the raw wood at the bottom, up through the sculpted base to the refined cabinet with meticulous wood marquetry. The second transition is revealed as the cabinet is opened, which moves the viewer from Autumn into Spring.
